IFC Networking—Metasys Intelligent Fire Network
Note: The IFC panel and INA power supplies have built in UPSs. If the
Fire Network is operated in only the Local Fire Alarm System
configuration (as defined in NFPA 72 and by the UL Listing), then
the Fire OWS, dedicated printer, Fire watchdog timer, and the
Fire-Net NCM are not required. In this case, neither the UPS nor
the multiple engine-driven generators for these components are
required.
The UPS must be sized to supply standby operating power of the time
specified in applicable fire alarm building codes and be acceptable to the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), which may exceed the NFPA
requirements. If the FN does not have to be installed to meet the NFPA
and/or local building code requirements, it may be possible to provide
considerably smaller capacity power supplies (Tables 3 and 4).
!
CAUTION: If the FN is configured for and being operated as a
Proprietary Fire Alarm System—as defined in
NFPA 72 and the UL Listing—the computer,
dedicated printer, watchdog timer, and Fire-Net
NCM must be powered into a UPS. Make sure the
UPS is recognized by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ).
